Some interesting finds...
-
Oh yeah I was returning on a TIB1014L in the evening when I saw it broke down. Rego should be TIB768, i think, but cun see rather clearly as the bus din stop. FYI, TIBS sent TIB1019 with the all-over ITE ad to replace that CAC from AMK depot. Damn, it went shooting in front or I would had abandoned that Lousy TIB1014L in favour of that Habit after the YCK Rd. Intersection.Originally posted by TropicalSQ744:Hey offservice,
Thanks for the welcome!
When I saw 0405 serving 806 at the berth, i thought its good for a change but they should have used a Volgern 0405G considering there were so many passengers who could not board! 
Then after the 0405 left, 975U came out and I thought it was on 856 / 859 but as I could see the EDS i was shocked 
I was like oh man this is definately new.. hehe.. But im still waiting for a Volgern 0405G on 806! 
A 851 MB0405 CAC with the rear epson ad broke down along Marymount Rd today near to the junction with SIm Ming Ave. Reg unknown -
Yes, 9846T seems to have disappeared. However Sv. 55 is back to full 3-axle LO fleet for double-decks, BUT,Originally posted by off_service:From the way I see it, the VSO taken from service 168 (i.e. 9846T) might be deployed on service 55.
SBS 9846 T might also be the unknown VSO spotted on service 143 around a week ago. SBS 280J on Sv. 55 AGAIN. Saw it turning from AMDEP to Bishan St 14 14.40pm. -
Hi all,
SBS 9800 A spotted on service 502 around 8am at Clementi Road.
I'm informed that SBS 9846 T is back in business, after "sleeping" in the depot for 2 weeks. YEAH!!

I noticed that some aircon outlets of Citaros had been changed. TIB 977 P has it's aircon outlets changed to that of Volgren Bendies.
TIB 977 P, TIB 1047 S and a O405G is currently deployed on svc 184. Also, the headway of service 184 has been reduced to around 7 to 10 minutes. Great and wonderful decision by Tibs!!! -
SBS 9801Y on Sv. 56 with my favorite lady driver SBS 280J on Sv. 55 AGAIN.

Today,
SBS9831K Service 8. Spotted along Tampines Ave 9 at 1620
All the VSOs are in full action today!
SBS9827 Service 72 again, after missing it around YCK for the past week!
SBS9846T Service 168
SBS9848 Service 168
SBS9849 Service 168
SBS9842 Service 168
As u can see, all 4 VSOs are on svc 168 today, and there is intense and unexplained competition between svc 168 and 969. For example, SBST had VSOs going off every 8 minutes or so instead of 15 minutes, and TIBS had TIB1195 and TIB1183 departing WRL at 8 minutes intervals! The average freq for svc 969 went down to about 7-8 minutes today.
TIB1014L Service 169 ( Wish it will jus stay there forever and dun come back to svc 852 ! ) -
Argh!!! It's bad enough for sv 169 to have one of the worst Lance 211 (TIB 1015 J) in the fleet list and now another Lance 211 (TIB 1014 L)!!! What is Tibs doing, throwing all the "unwanted" Lances to sv 169??!!Originally posted by TIB1186Z:Today,

Besides the VSOs on sv 168, are the other buses (single deckers) departing at 8 mins interval? Looks like Tibs and SBST are sloggin' it out on their Woodlands - Tampines (sv 168 pass by Tampines before ending at Bedok) services on weekends. Nice to see 4 VSOs back on sv 168 on weekends. Previously it's down to 2 or 3, with occasional LO 3 axles from AMKDEP. -
SBS 9601 H on sv 78
SBS 0185 B on sv 154
SBS 0974 H on sv 154
I noticed that the driver of a LO 3 axles had difficulty manuvouring the bus out of the bus bay opposite Clementi MRT when the bus is packed full of pax. -

- noticed a Trident on Service 64 with "Welcome Onboard" message on desto, rego unclear but was behind 9684T. Is this common previously on Tridents?
Registration is SBS9673A
- 1696L on Service 85, last Friday spotted on Service 33
Cheers and warm regards -
It's newly programmed after they change to number to the other side. Some Tridents does not show that although all have the capability.Originally posted by Superbus:Monday, 21st July 2003...

Yes, I think it's newly programmed into the EDS. Time to remove Sv. 502, Sv. 97, Sv. 111 and Sv. 85 from the EDS of these fellas!Originally posted by off_service:It's newly programmed after they change to number to the other side. Some Tridents does not show that although all have the capability. -
Nissan U31RCN spotted along Yishun Central near the junction with Ave 9 at around 6.45am... Might be on 806 or 812.. Reg unknown. ANyone know what's it doing there?

Could be a training bus. Many Nissan Diesels are in Woodlands/Yishun lately for training. I even saw one in Sembawang in late May.Originally posted by TropicalSQ744: Nissan U31RCN spotted along Yishun Central near the junction with Ave 9 at around 6.45am... Might be on 806 or 812..

Ic.. Just came back on 851, 2 0405s were full to the door.. And the frequency for evening peak isnt that great today. Where have the bendies gone to??!!Originally posted by off_service:Could be a training bus. Many Nissan Diesels are in Woodlands/Yishun lately for training. I even saw one in Sembawang in late May. They really need to put more bendies on 851 during evening peak. -

Discovered a CSS UD under painting in the depot when passing by AMK TIBS Depot. -
Tibs are currently shifting their Bendy Buses around. Guess it's for ratinoalization exercise.Originally posted by TropicalSQ744:Ic.. Just came back on 851, 2 0405s were full to the door..

Today, svc 851 seem to have quite a few Bendys. For example, TIB1079 with that EPSON ad and TIB1114 arrived within 5 minutes of each other in the evening and both were nearly empty.
Strange fleet deployments today.
TIB377X Service 171
TIB974Y This "citaro" decided to make a guest appearance on service 800 again -
All I wanted to add on had been said. Just to add on, SBS1782 (WA, NAC) is on service 154 today and SBS9800 is on 111 (again!).
Look out for weird deployments of buses this Saturday. I have this feeling that some HGDEP buses will "si sua zao" and eventually stay put in the West. -
Yes. A more possible candidate is for AMDEP 3-axle LOs to be moved to SLBP and then HGDEP 3-axle VOs moved to Central District. Expect to see an exodus of VOs on Central District routes soon.Originally posted by SBS9819Y:All I wanted to add on had been said.

The major fleet changes will begin on Sunday. Sv. 111, Sv. 97, Sv. 502 will get more O405s, 3-axle LOs and whatnot. As long as the buses are from SLBP/BBDEP will do.
